Former senator representing Kaduna Central, Comrade Shehu Sani, has warned of an impending revolution if the hunger in the land is not contained.
Sani was reacting to the Sunday morning looting of a warehouse belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) by hungry Nigerians.
Sani said: “Masses looting foodstuffs from a Government Warehouse in our oil rich Nigeria is a dangerous symptom of an impending revolution that must be averted or contained.”
The NEMA warehouse is the latest in a series of looting of foodstuffs by hungry Nigerians who previously have been looting trucks carrying food stuff. Several of such trucks belonging to Dangote and BUA, the two major food manufacturers in the country, have been looted in Kogi, Kaduna, Katsina and Niger.
On X, a user of the microblogging App, @firstladyship concurred with Sani.
She said: “This was how the French Revolution started. It started small, and snowballed into something huge and quite unexpected. No army can stop an army of hungry Nigerians.”
Another X user, @JohnsonLyor said: “Hunger Unites everyone. That i’m so sure there’s no Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. The elites didn’t see this coming . Since they divided the country during the election just for a vote, now hunger don bring the people together.”
@Andyroy007 said: “We have a crisis that is gradually growing. How did we get to this point?”
@BuchiSeles said: “Every warehouse is under threat now. I say every warehouse, including Money warehouse if that exists.”
